Real Madrid's new star Kylian Mbappe endured a night to forget in his first ElClasico against Barcelona in LALIGA.
Real Madrid summer signing Kylian Mbappe has faced intense scrutiny following a disappointing debut in El Clásico against Barcelona, where his team suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu.
This match marked Mbappe's first La Liga encounter in one of the biggest rivalries in football, and it quickly turned into a night to forget for the French superstar on Saturday night.

Despite high expectations surrounding his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, Mbappe struggled to make an impact.
He was unable to capitalise on two significant scoring opportunities, including a glaring miss that would have changed the game's momentum.

His performance was further marred by an alarming statistic: he was caught offside eight times during the match, leading to widespread criticism from fans and pundits alike.
One particularly harsh critique noted, “Being caught offside EIGHT times in one game should earn you a suspension. Zero respect for the sport. Respect the working-class man.”

This sentiment reflects the frustration among supporters who expected more from a player of Mbappé's calibre.
Barcelona's young squad, featuring several academy graduates, proved too much for Real Madrid. The Catalans showcased their attacking ability under new coach Hansi Flick with goals from Robert Lewandowski, who netted twice, along with strikes from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
The comprehensive nature of the defeat showed Barcelona's resurgence under new management and highlighted Real Madrid's ongoing struggles.
Mbappe’s inability to influence the match has raised questions about his integration into the team and whether he can adapt to the demands of La Liga after his transition from Ligue 1.

The defeat not only affects Mbappe’s reputation but also places additional pressure on head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who must find solutions to improve team cohesion and performance ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
